The West Sweden Agreement is of major importance and has enormous impact on the City of Gothenburg. It consists of different public transport plans and the construction of a new bridge (Hisingsbron) in the city centre, reducing the feeling there is a barrier between two parts of the city. It might be useful to collaborate more between the different institutional levels, linking future plans and visions. According to this it might be really useful to enlarge plans like the West Sweden Agreement, combining future investments in infrastructure and spatial development.
